Ideally you want to use a wooden spoon when scraping so you don't scratch your pot and get loose metal bits in your food. plastic Spatula is good for flipping/scraping off liquids from a bowl like batter for example where you need that flimsiness to scrape against the bowl

Jack Linde I’m not Jewish but I hate bacon and I’m usually a big nope at that too! I appreciated the substitution note as I would have just not put it in instead of adding extra butter.

In the recipe it also says add some extra mushrooms and saute them before adding, which I did and which was fantastic.

The Parm rinds will add a lot of the same umami flavor- try adding some more and maybe some pimentón (smoked paprika) to sub the smoke flavor. I also sub anchovy for bacon on occasion.

I just made corn chowder based on this recipe for lunch! It was delicious - thanks for the recipe! (I didn't use leeks or shallots and I used hot peppers from the farmer's market, species unknown, in substitution for Fresnos, which simply aren’t available here. Still great.)

I think it's the texture, a chowder is thicker... Don't know whether there's an English word for it but we have one to describe this texture in German, yet we lack a direct translation of the word chowder and call it a "sämige" (said word to describe the texture) soup

Chowder is a particular name for soup where the ingredients are not blended unlike your other thick soups like bisque. So, if your soup has cream, seafood or vegetables and is NOT BLENDED to a puree, it is a a chowder.
